SGER: SciTube.tv: Video Delivery of Papers Published in PLoS Journals

SciTube.tv。是一个为科学信息的传播和共享提供新场所的项目。最初，与科学公共图书馆（PLoS; www.plos.org）、sciitube合作。tv为作者提供了一个网络资源，让他们上传与公共科学图书馆期刊上发表的论文相链接的视频片段。视频片段将包括语音评论、演示者的图片流、PowerPoint演示文稿以及视频演示文稿与期刊文章之间的链接。SciTube。电视演示提供了一个介于科学论文的典型摘要和全文之间的中间层次的细节。SciTube。电视将特别吸引熟悉当今流行文化中流行的视频技术的新一代科学家。该资源的技术方面由圣地亚哥超级计算机中心（SDSC; www.sdsc.edu）通过其网络基础设施通道技术（www.cichannel.org）提供，这是该探索性项目SciTube的一个关键目标。电视，是为了评估作者上传视频片段和观看这些视频片段的观众的接受程度。评估将考虑长度和格式类型，以及对于每种格式，观众是否有一个有益的观看体验，增加他们对所呈现的材料的理解，而不是传统的科学期刊文章。此外,SciTube。电视提供了一个分级系统，并为虚拟社区提供了聚集在一个特定的“视频纸”周围的机会，通过这个“视频纸”可以进行对话。该项目的结果将为未来的实施工作提供信息，包括将作者的范围扩展到公共科学图书馆期刊之外，以开发大型科学内容视频档案，使这些内容在知识共享许可框架下可用，以最大限度地重复使用，并开发独特的搜索功能。正在考虑的其他想法包括使实验室拥有自己的SciTube。电视频道，在那里他们可以存储协议，教育视频材料等，并提供教育材料，模拟等供公众使用。提供可获取的、功能强大的视频资源可以在以下方面产生非常广泛的影响：提供传播科学信息和促进合作的新手段，发展新的教育模式，以及向公众宣传科学的激动人心和前景。

SciTube.tv. is a project to provide a new venue for the dissemination and sharing of scientific information. Initially, in collaboration with the Public Library of Science (PLoS; www.plos.org), SciTube.tv is providing a Web resource for authors to upload a video clip linked with a paper published in a PLoS journal. The video clip will include a voice commentary, a pictorial stream of the presenter, a PowerPoint presentation, as well as links between the video presentation and the journal article. SciTube.tv presentations provide an intermediate level of detail between a typical abstract of a scientific paper and the full paper. SciTube.tv will appeal particulary to the new generation of scientists conversant with the video technologies prevalent in today's popular culture. The technical aspects for this resource are being provided by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC; www.sdsc.edu) by way of their Cyberinfrastructure Channel technology (www.cichannel.org).A key goal of this exploratory project, SciTube.tv, is to evaluate the acceptance both of authors uploading video clips and viewers watching those clips. The evaluation will consider both the length and type of format and, for each, whether the viewer has a rewarding viewing experience that increases their comprehension of the material being presented over conventional scientific journal articles. Additionally, SciTube.tv provides a rating system and the opportunity for virtual communities to gather around a particular "videopaper" through which a discourse can take place. The results of this project will inform future implementation efforts which are expected to include extending the scope of authors beyond PLoS journals to develop a large video archive of scientific content, making this content available under a creative commons license framework to maximize reuse, and developing unique capabilities for searching. Additional ideas under consideration include enabling laboratories to have their own SciTube.tv channel where they can store protocols, educational video materials and so on, and provision of educational materials, simulations etc. for use by the general public. The availability of an accessible and robust video resource can have very broad impact in enabling new means for disseminating scientific information and promoting collaboration, in developing new paradigms for education, and in communicating the excitement and promise of science to the general public.
